Monitor Problem with Linux

[Red10]

**&^%$£@! Flippin' eck!


I have changed or attempted to change the resolution in FC3 as the screen was giving me eye strain... I selected the wrong option and unlike in windoze, where you get chance to change it back if it doesn't work, FC3 changed it, my monitor didn't like it and now i am in a situation whereby everytime i boot into linux, i get "OUT OF RANGE" displayed on the screen...
I know there is a command at boot or something to change the res' can someone remind me what it is?

Cheers

Dan

you should be able to hit ctrl-alt-f1 to change to a text console

not sure what to do beyond that, i don't know what really user-friendly thing redhat have done to fedora, but for the rest of us you'd edit the refresh rate entries in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or /etc/X11/xorgsomethingsomethingbuggeredifiknow

does redhat still have Xconfigurator or xconfigurator ?

once in text mode try one of these commands or simple edit the /etc/X11/xfree86 config file

ive just had this exact problem and i did what ikonia said, i edited the xfree86 config and when i booted up it worked

if your a little shy at editing text files, do try or even install the redhat Xconfigurator / xconfigurator (can't remember if its upper or lower X)
